I just rolled an account with Herc, Stheno and Atilla. Not bad, yeah? I'm gonna try one more roll for Waver and then give it up if I don't get him. Being able to grab Babby Sabber from the present and EMIYA whenever they release that makes for a pretty complete team.

I'm kinda surprised they're making an Apocrypha show before animating Fate/Hollow. Hollow was pretty hit-or-miss, but it has some of my favorite scenes from across the entire series. There's an amazing 13-episode show there if they cut out the flab.

Is there a gameplay reason to hold out for a non-waifu/husbando character? It seems like with the way the support system works you could just friend someone with Waver/Jeanne if you really needed them for an event, no?

As I understand it, they advertised two new characters as Rate-Ups. What they didn't tell anyone was that one character dropped at the usual Rate-Up rate while the other was about 80% less common.

serious. Is Jeanne and Saber supposed to have the same face? T-this is a waifu game, isn't it?! Where's the cute boys?!

The fan theory is that they're all descendants of the goddess Venus. According to legend, Julius Caesar was descended from Venus via Aeneas, and he fathered children all across England and France. And Nero descended from another branch of that family. I guess Okita Souji having the Saberface and young Caesar being a fatass (what...?) kinda muddies that water though.

The real reason is that Saber is the main illustrator's waifu and he fuckin' L-O-V-E-S to draw her.

Downloaded this and played a little bit of the story. Seems fun enough but I feel like they could stand to add some more tutorials. Don't know what I'm doing enough to bother rerolling so I hope I have a halfway decent team to muddle through with. I pulled Cu Chulainn, the prototype version of Chu Chulainn, Darius III, Alexander, Julius Caesar, and Carmilla. Should I bother pulling again or just hoard for a decent banner? Want to try to stay F2P on this as I already sink enough money into another gacha game I play.

Also was there supposed to be a thing where you can select any 4* servant you want or has that not shown up yet? Still getting the hang of navigating the menus.

Either reroll or look through this thread for people giving away teams. It's definitely worth rerolling for a 5-star Servant and/or Hercules so you can :killdozer: everything.

They haven't implemented the free giveaway yet.

Some 3* are amazingly good (see post 2 for Endorph's tier list reviews). I don't believe stars can be raised ever but it's mostly about individual capacity in the beginning and changes to team synergy the more you progress. Characters also need to ascend (level cap boost) to unlock further skills which they may rely on to become far more efficient in support or damage.

The best example is how strong CuChu Lancer is for a 3* being stronger than many/most 4* and many 5* as well.

Ascension caps follow the star rating (90 for 5*, 80 for 4*, 70 for 3*) and then you can use holy grails to level them a bit more above natural cap.

What's the difference between Prototype Cu and F/SN Cu?

And can Jeanne carry my rear end through the 40 AP treasure daily or is it just the Ember one? She actually got crit to death my first time doing the embers and I had to burn all my Command Spells :negative:

They'll let anyone be a Heroic Spirit these days.

But for real, how do you become a Heroic Spirit without a legend/myth? I thought you had to do more than simply perform great deeds, you had to somehow exceed human limits.

So George Washington could skate by because he cut down a cherry tree once.

Orleans and Septum are full of useless fights, from a gameplay and story perspective. Three waves of 1500 HP skeletons/soldiers who do 300 damage a hit? I know they wrote those chapters before the guaranteed 4* tutorial Servant, but even a team of 3* won't have any trouble with those.
